In the morning, there's another girl floating dead in the lake. Easily one of the better mystery/thrillers I've read this year. After disappointments from old favourites with Since We Fell and newly-hyped thrillers like Final Girls, I managed to find a really creepy, suspenseful story from an author who has always been a bit hit and miss for me.The book starts with a very dramatic and gruesomely exciting opening chapter. I've grown to appreciate slow build novels, but thrillers that pull out
This was exciting from beginning to end! I love this spin on the typical serial killer thriller; here, we see the focus on the family the monster left behind. My nerves constantly ramped up as the tension grew; this was compulsive reading at its finest and I'm so glad I was able to snag this with my Kindle Unlimited membership. I was a bit surprised to see so many typos and formatting issues though; I don't read enough finished ebook copies to know if maybe this is normal? Anyway, it wasn't enou...
I am sorry guys but this did nothing for me I DNF at 40% the premise started out fast paced easily read but for me just nothing was going on the beginning was a good start but by the time Gwen had moved to Stillwater Lake it slowed somewhat which bored me there was too much explanation & not enough movement. The characters were likeable but flawed.It was a shame really as I had high hopes for this series again I am in the minority but so be it I always say how it is at least I am honest in my as...
Stillhouse Lake by Rachel Caine is a 2017 Thomas & Mercer publication. Super intense thrill ride!

Now Gina has transformed herself into Gwen Proctor- a confident single mother who hangs out at the shooting range in her free time. Gwen relocates her family to Stillhouse Lake, where she finally allows herself, and h...
This is probably one of the best psychological thrillers I have read in a while. It had me questioning myself at every twist and turn. I was literally on the edge of my seat during the last three-quarters of the book. I could even feel the paranoia of the main character. Totally messed with my mind!!
4.5, PSA: if your partner has a “secret room” burn it TO THE GROUND stars!!! Full review featured on my blog Recipe and a Read!!!Gina Royal is a good wife. She is an exceptional mother. She takes care of house and home like a juggernaut – doing what society, and her husband has told her is her most important job, to the detriment of her own well-being. She loves her children with everything she has, and while her marriage has its hiccups and that proverbial “spark” may be gone, Mel is a good fat...
Update: 13/3/18. This is currently on offer: 0.99p in the UK, $0.99 in the US (I think) - and $2.99 in Canada. It's the same price for Killman Creek, too! Loved. This. Book.Damn. This ends with cliffhanger that I didn't see coming, though I probably should have. I feel like doing a reread, already. The story is told in the first and third person perspectives - though, the third person is for the prologue, then it switches to (Gina/Gwen's) first person perspective.Gina Royal, thinks she's got a p...
a pretty classic case of ‘its not you, its me.’i really wanted to enjoy this - i think exploring the trauma of the family of a serial killer is so unique - but this book just reconfirmed my preferences for quick pacing and short chapters when it comes to mystery/thrillers. the 25+ page chapters in this are just too long and made the story feel like it was dragging. i definitely need that ‘page turner’ quality when it comes to the genre, and this sadly did not have that for me personally.things d...
A breakneck pace and lots of serial killer chills!I'm not a huge fan of serial killer reads, but with so many great reviews I purchased this one and read it straight through leaving all my other reads languishing until I finished!Gina Royal is a shy housewife with two children she dotes on. She was living a normal life( so she thought) until one day she was confronted with her husbands "other" life and is forced to change her name and power up in order to protect her kids and herself! I really l...
